|
Education is a very important part of every individual's life. Throughout the years, Tignish has
raised many accomplished educators, many of whom stayed in Tignish and became successful school
teachers in the one room school houses throughout the community. Other individuals
moved away to make a life for themselves as teachers in the various other school systems across Canada.
